we love the Weber family

I am feeling very rusty with this blogging thing.  I wanted an update this place years ago but my lack of knowledge, as well as putting other things first has made this space what it is.  However, I don't want to give this space up!  So if you're here still, following along thank you!  Also know that I spend most of my time on Instagram if you care to follow there @marilynfreeman . :)  For now say hello to our amazing friends the Weber family!  Michelle and Riley and their family live in New Mexico and we've been friends since before Elliot was born.  While they were in town last month Michelle asked me to take their family photos so of course I said yes.  I think this was the third time I've taken their photos and they are such a fun family, as you can see.

           

                    I've been learning more about creativity lately, particularly from two podcasts.  One is called Live Free Creative with Miranda Anderson, and the other is Heartful with Brooke Schultz.  Something I learned is that some of the most amazing creations were done within limited parameters.  For example, a painter that uses only one type of medium like water color, or a writer that can only use a certain number of words.  Well, this photoshoot was like that for me.  I forgot about it so I was running late unprepared.  My memory card was just about full so I only had space for about 75 photos on it.  Now I know typically I overtake photos especially for family shoots because there are more chances for someone blinking, or a kid crying, etc... So I went into this shoot very intentionally.  It turned out to be one of my fastest photoshoots and I did it with space to spare! Plus it was of the most fun and energetic shoots.  Ok, a lot of the credit goes to the Weber family.  They made my job easy. :)
             

           

             

             

Michelle and I have had a lot of our pregnancies together and they have 5 kids just like us so getting together with them is fun for the parents and the kids.  Don't you just love friends like that?! Priceless!  We are so excited to be visiting them over October Break and seeing the Balloon Festival in New Mexico for our first time.  It's going to be the best!
